a guide to courting your whitelighter (in eight easy steps) [ psl ]
WHO Cole Turner and Chris Halliwell
WHAT The sisters and Leo disappear under new identities at the end of season and stay gone, leaving Wyatt and Chris (and eventually their baby sister Melinda) to be raised by their grandfather Victor and their powers bound. Cole is pulled from the void with his powers intact and charged to watch over the kids as some sort of ghostlighter. Fast forward to the kids being in their late teens/early twenties, where they learn that they're the new Charmed Ones, Wyatt and Chris are whitelighters, and that they're stuck under Cole's now visible watchful eye.
WHEN uh, the future?
WHERE around
WHY because Leo has topped himself by being an even worse parent.
This was a mess. Cole knew the kids hated him after he had been trying to push them into training harder than he really should have been and alienated all three of them from him. Chris was the one he pushed farthest away just by him being so much like his incredibly stubborn mother. Things had gotten somewhat better after Cole's ingenious plan to summon Patty from beyond the grave so that she could not only teach her youngest grandson to channel his active power properly, but also teach all three of her grandchildren about being witches and what that meant. It didn't make Cole get back into everyone's good graces, but it settled things enough that everything went back to some level of normalcy around the house.
Wyatt and Melinda had some level of acceptance of magic forcing its way into their lives, but Chris still fought it and every time Chris left, Cole followed at a distance, letting him try to have some sort of life while keeping him safe from the magical forces that wanted him dead just for being one of the Charmed Ones. Eventually though, Cole had enough of this sulking around and trying to stupidly prove that he could have a normal life, so he dusted in where he sensed Chris to be and looked around. Oh good, he wasn't in public and was alone. That was always good.
"Alright, I think the two of us need to talk about some things and set down some ground rules from here on out," Cole started and immediately held up a hand. "Don't even think about orbing off because I can and will follow you through every realm and plane your orbs can reach, so let's just skip the part where you run off like a kid at least half your age, okay?"

no subject
"You're still missing the point. Nice try, but—" Chris shook his head, moving to sit back down where he had jumped to his feet at Cole's appearance. He still had reports to write, being in his last year of college and all. This was not the best time to be having an argument about destinies and duties, but neither of them really had that whole timing thing down, anyway. "We're not looking for a vacation. Being super-powerful witches isn't a career and I'm sure there's even better people out there to lecture us on how to do it than you. Like Patty," he added, something of an acknowledging tone to the fact that Cole had already taken steps in that direction.
It still wasn't enough, not yet. This was not a balance so much as a hostile takeover of their mortal lives. The three siblings had been talking it over in private and there were a lot of different directions they could go, but they did all agree on one thing: they wanted to decide it themselves. Being guided was fine, being herded wasn't. That was how Halliwells rolled.
